Music-listening and appaising

The Baroque era-1600-1750

• Establishment of a key (major/minor)
• Use of the different textures (homo phonic, polyphonic, monophonic)
• The baroque orchestra
• Ornamented melody line e.g. appoggiaturas, and acciaccaturas
• Diatonic chords- chords, literally belonging to the key
• Basso continuo- a continuous bass, you can see in the score that there are many crochets in the bass line
• Terraced dynamics (changing dynamics)
• Prevalence of an affection or mood (in this case the mood is praise and glorification)

1) "And the glory the glory of the Lord"

• This stars with a three note triad
• Ends with a sequenced scale

2)"Shall be revealed"

• two one bar sequences
• more than one note per syllable

3) "And the flesh shall see it together"

• Repetition, creating a firm statement

4) "For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it"

• Plagal cadence (sounds like amen), "spoken it"
• Long minims- again, firm statement
